Modern Day FactionsNovus Unus Laboratories

Background: Apparently Novus Unus was established around the same time the older Abstergo Industries was. It was funded by the United States Military, and directed by Professors, who are the descendants of Templar from the past. Diabolically it was to be ruled by the Vice CEO of Abstergo Industries, codenamed "Dr.Umbra" however unknown to the public in case Abstergo Industries collapsed. Abstergo Industries had eventually collapsed, which led the modern-day Templar to resort to their Laboratories, putting Dr.Umbra in charge, really, the only surviving Figurehead of the assassinations during 2012. They do a lot of Genetic Engineering, as well as enhancement, etc... And they are specifically funded by the United States Federal Government, the Lab itself is kept a secret from the general public.

Order of the Assassins

Background: The Order of the Assassins in modern times isn't really much of an Order. After the "end" of the destruction of Abstergo Industries, and the Templar the modern-day Assassins had all gone into hiding once more in order to avoid militaristic, or political authority over their doing. Many families of Assassins simply went into hiding, normally in exotic places. And, since they felt it was a means to an end upon the destruction of Abstergo Industries, they simply hadn't developed a unification strategy if time calls for it. They generally retired, however, some families of Assassins still raised their young in the way of the Assassin as taught by their ancestors. And they continued to remain active, and possibly still are. However, many of the modern-day Assassins have also been captured by Novus Unus Labs, and used for the extraction of memorial records of their long-term ancestors.

United States Government

Background: The United States Government has become more of an Imperialistic-form then it ever has been. Many of the Templar are actually the leaders in Congress, and the current President, President Walton Coveur is a Templar. He has been President of the United States for over a year now, and under his form of policy, and Congresses they have become more strict, and controlling, however manipulative. The entire World is nearly a 'democracy' due to the values the United States have pushed onto other lesser Nations, and their military is incredibly powerful stretching across the World. The President of the United States had also developed a form of control over the Americas due to various treaties and policy, Leaders in the Americas have become a part of. The USA is currently the most powerful Nation in the World.
